SAFETY RAZOR Application filed November 5, 1926. Serial No. 143,358.

This invention relates to a safety razor. The object of the invention isthe production of a safety razor that is specially adapted to shave thelimbs and arm-pits of 5 the user, and is particularly suitable, forouseby women. The razor may however be used for shaving the face of the userin the ordinary way. The second object of the invention is theproduction of a safety razorwhich can be used with either the right orleft hand. The third object of the invention is the production of asafety razor, having a frame consisting of one pieceof flexible materialand which has incorporated therewith flexible arms, which latter whensubjected to pressure enables a razor blade to be attached or detachedfrom the safety razor.

The organization of the invention comprises a flexible metallic bandwhich has in corporated therewith a curved guard comb and a pair oflocking lugs to maintain a razor blade detachably clamped to said guardcomb. e T

In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 represents a front elevation of anexemplification of the safety razor; Fig. 2 shows a top plan view ofFig. 2 on the y a front view of fication; Fig. 5

6 indicates a front view of a further modification of the safety razorand Fig. 7 is a top plan view of Fig. 6.

Referring to Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive the safety razor is indicated tocomprise a frame consisting of the bowed arms 20, withoverlappingportions 21 at one end, which latter can be connected by spot welding orby means of rivets. At the other ends of the bowed arms portions 22.

Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a section of line 3, 3; Fig. 4 represents the safetyrazor with a modiare formed the front curved end From the latter extendthe return bend flanges 23, which have formed therewith the inwardlyextending locking lugs 24. The

, latter are connected by the guard comb 25,

5 curved along its longitudinal axis and having in this instance theserrated opposite edges forming the guard fingers 26. Outwardly clampingprojections 27 are formed with the guard comb 25. A razor blade 32 5 inthis instance bears against the outer face is atop view of Fig. 4; Fig.

of the guard comb ably locked to the locking lugs 24. Openings 33 areformed in the blade that are detachably engaged by the clampingprojections 27. The razor blade 32 can be easily detached from orconnected to the guard comb 25, and the locking lugs 24 by springing thebowed arms 20, and said guard com i 25, with its ends detach-- In themodification indicated in Figs. 4 a

and 5, the bowed arms are again indicated at 20 having the front curvedend portions 22, and the outwardly extending locking lugs 36. The guardcomb 38 is "curved along its longitudinal axis, and is provided with theguard fingers 39, andconnects the locking lugs 36. Clamping projections40 extend in wardly from the guard comb 38, and a razor blade 41 bearsagainst the inner concaved face of the guard comb 38 with its endslocked to the locking lugs 36. Openings 42 are the projections bedetached or ing the'bowed arms 20 and the'guard comb38.

Referring to Figs. 6 and 7 the safety razor in this modification isshown to. comprise the guard comb 44 having the guard fingers 45, and iscurved along its longitudinal axis.

Locking lugs .46 and 47 are formed at the ends of the guard comb andlocking projections 48 extend from its outer face. A return bend flange49 is formed with the locking lug 47 and a handle bar 50extends from theflange 49. A razor blade 51 bears on the outer face of the guard ablylocked to the locking lugs 46 and 47. The razor blade 51 can be detachedor locked in position by springing the guard comb 44.

The razor blade has projections 52 that engage the projection 48.

en the razor blade is clampedin position in any of the forms of theinvention, it will automatically be curved along its longitudinal axisin conformity with its guard comb.

It will be noted that while the razorblade is indicated as double edged,a razor blade with one cutting edge can be used. I

It is to be also noted that the locking'lugs comb 44 with its endsdetachi formed in the razor blade adapted to engage 40. The razor blade41 can locked in position by spring- 24, 36, 46 and 47 cover the cornersof the razor blade to avoid injury when using the razor.

Various modifications can be made in the invention and the presentexempliflcation is to be taken as illustrative and not limitativethereof.

Having described my invention what I desire to secure by Letters Patentand claim is:

1. In a safety razor the combination of a pair of flexible arms, curvedend portions formed at the outer ends of the flexible arms, return bendflanges extending from said curved end portions, locking lugs formedwith said return bend flan-gesand a guard comb connecting said lockinglugs, said comb curved along its longitudinal axis and having serratedopposite edges forming guard fingers, said locking lugs adapted todetachably connect a razor blade to said guard comb and hold said bladein a flexed and curved condition along its longitudinal axis.

2. In a safety razor the conrbinationot a pair of flexible bowed arms,curved endportions formed at the outer ends of the flexible arms, returnbend, flanges extending from said curved end portions,locking lugsformed with said return bend flanges, a guard comb conneGting saidlocking lugs, said comb curved along its longitudinal axis and having aserrated edge forming guard fingers, said guard comb having clampingprojections "formed therewith, said locking lugs adapted to detachablyconnect a razor blade to said guard comb and hold said blade in a flexedand curved condition along its longitudinal axis, said clampingprojections extending from said guard comb engaging openings in therazor blade. 7 V

In testimony-whereof I affix my signature.
